Hi everybody,
I just tested pre-rc2. Works really great, the one bug I ran into (localization-config) is already fixed. then I tested the preseeding feature. This is a really fantastic feature! There is just a small whishlist: With preseeding it would be very easy to set up a customized installer for our university. But it didn't work. My idea was the following: 1. building my own miniiso from netboot 2. setting the three country/keyboard settings in syslinux.cfg (append) as mentioned in Joeys example. 3. pointing preseed/url to a file on the miniiso. First glitch: I could not seed country/keyboard for germany. the append-line exceeded 256 chars and was cut :-( then I tried some things but I found no way to set these three questions to german. it is also not possible to put file-preseed and network-preseed into the initrd since they provide the same files. file-preseed is removed if network-preseed is installed. It would be cool if it would work like this: having three preseed packages which can coexist in the same initrd: 1. initrd-preseed: like file-preseed but does not depend on any cdrom-detect or mount-floppy. but it only can read files which are on the initrd. this would make it possible to preseed even before the language-chooser. 2. file-preseed, like now 3. network-preseed, like now :-) -- Jörg Friedrich There are only 10 types of people: Those who understand binary and those who don't. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
